Bilin (Cushitic, Afro-Asiatic) borrowed a set of object pronoun suffixes from Tigre (Semitic, Afro-Asiatic), yet no derivational borrowing has this far been demonstrated. The Ethiopian Semitic languages Zway, Soddo and Gafat acquired their verbal prefix ‘ti-’, a bound morpheme, from either Sidamo or Omotic, with no derivational loan from the same sources.
